Mrs. Knuepfer, Barb and family, It has been years since I have seen your family. I have very fond memories of the many times that I had spent at your house and with your family. Mr. Knuepfer had a great sense of humor and was always so enjoyable to talk with. His love of his dogs, kids and family life (not necessarily in that order) was apparent in how he lived day to day. I am sorry to say that I had lost touch over the years but my heart goes out to you and your family for your loss. He will be greatly missed. My sincerest sympathy. Ellen (Al Fitzmaurice) Anderson
